Answer 1

If you are getting mongodb-error validating settings: only one positional argument is allowed.

1. Just put --file path in " ".

2.use / instead of \ in --file path.

3. Also, put --host in " ".

For example:
Suppose you are trying to import data from your local machine to server (MongoDB Atlas or your MongoDB server or locally) in your collection then follow this:

mongoimport --host "cluster0-shard-00-01-ceax1.mongodb.net:27017" --db  --type json --file "C:/Users/ranjeet/Downloads/MongoDb project/ranjeet.json" --authenticationDatabase admin --ssl --username  --password  --collection
